Samba Passwd Encryption, trouble with smbpasswd

[Greg Barry]

I have a SPARC20 running Solaris 2.5.1 and
Samba 2.07.

I'm trying to get passwd encryption to work from
the sun server to Win98/NT clients. The passwd
encryption part of it is working but a user is
unable to change their passwd using the 
smbpasswd command.

With debugging turned on you get:

% smbpasswd
.
.
switch message SMBtrans (pid 24298)
become_user uid=(0,99) gid=(0,20)
dos_ChDir to /tmp
